Review text

The authors investigate the exponential decay of the solution of the nonlinear hyperbolic problem with the memory term \(u_{tt}-\Delta u+f(x,t,u)+\int_0^t g(t-\tau)\Delta u(\tau)d\tau+a(x)u_t=0\;\text{in} \Omega\times (0,\infty),\) \(u=0\;\text{on} \Gamma\times (0,\infty),\;u(x,0)=u^0(x),\;u_t(x,0)=u^1(x),\;x\in \Omega,\) where \(\Omega\) is a bounded domain of \(\mathbb R^n\) with the regular boundary \(\Gamma\). For an arbitrary point \(x^0\in \mathbb R^n\) there is defined the set \(\Gamma(x^0)=\{x\in \Gamma;\;m(x)\cdot \nu(x)>0\}\), where \(\nu\) represents the unit normal vector directed into the exterior of \(\Omega\) and \(\;m(x)=x-x^0\). The neighborhood \(\omega\) of \(\Gamma(x^0)\) in \(\Omega\) is such that there exists \(\delta>0\) with the relations \(Q_0=\{x\in \Omega;\;d(x,\Gamma(x^0))<\delta\}\subset \omega,\;Q_1=\{x\in \Omega;\;d(x,\Gamma(x^0))<2\delta\}\subset \omega.\) The damping term \(a:\Omega\to \mathbb R\) is nonnegative and the bounded function such that \(\;a(x)\geq a_0>0\;\text{a.e. in} \omega.\) The kernel function \(g:\mathbb R_+\to\mathbb R_+\) is in \(W^{2,1}(0,\infty)\cap W^{1,\infty}(0,\infty).\) Moreover it fulfils the assumptions \(\quad 1-\int_0^\infty g(s)ds = {\l}>0,\;g(0)>0,\;-\xi_1g(t)\leq g'(t)\geq -\xi_2 g(t)\;\forall t\geq 0\) with \(\xi_1>0,\;\xi_2>0\). The last assumption implies \(g(0)e^{-\xi_1 t}\leq g(t)\leq g(0)e^{-\xi_2 t}\), \(t\geq 0.\) The energy related to the problem is \[ E(t)=\frac 12 \|u'(t)\|_2^2+\frac 12 \|\nabla u(t)\|_2^2 + \frac 1{\gamma+2}\|u\|_{\gamma+2}^{\gamma+2}, \] where \(\gamma>0\) in the case \(n=1,\;2\) and \(\;0<\gamma \leq 2/(n-2)\;\) for \(n\geq 3\) and it characterizes the growth conditions of the function \(f.\) The main result is the existence and uniqueness of a solution \(u\in C^0([0,\infty);H_0^1(\Omega))\cap C^1([0,\infty);L^2(\Omega))\) which decays exponentially in the sense of the energy decay \(\;E(t)\leq Ce^{-\beta t}\).
